Yeah I had like 6 of those in my tank for a while. I posted about them and was told they werent going to live. I dont remember who it was but they were right. They die after a short time

that explains y its gone...:(

it was great while it lasted.

and yes the last pic has a reflection cuz of the surface of the water.

has anyone seen a LFS have or sell jellyfishes? or is it THAT hard...:eek:

could have kept it alive if you got it some plankton and tiny fishied. from what the discovery and animal channels have taught me, jelly fish are gulltons and need alot of food to survive

that's really cool. i think jellyfish have a 2 stage life cycle where the first stage they are anchored to a rock and sessile (forgot the name of it) and the second stage they are medusas, where then they leave the rock and look like discs kind of until they grow long enough tentacles into a free floating jellyfish.

when i removed the net today (looks really really ugly...) the chaeto is on the loose XD. but i stuffed it in the corner and held it down with the magfloat.

i just noticed it floating around. but it seems to be injured...

i too a closer look and i think its a hydroids in its medusa stage...
